Simple and fuss free contraceptive...for goats!

Have you ever heard of the 'olor'? A BBC story (click the link in the title) reports that Maasai pastoralists have found it necessary to prevent the unnecessary expansion of their goat herds during this drought season using a barrier to prevent goats from getting erm, reproductive. The logic is that there is too much competition for pasture and water to afford more goats now. In november the cowhide 'condom' (or goatdom) can be taken off and free copulation can take place.
The Maasai have had this technology for generations, even before wazungu brought this idea of condoms as a barrier method of contraception.
This makes me think that the idea of iron underpants for philandering men can actually work.
